So you should do what the faq says.
Thanks for the clarifications, Pierre, they will solve my problem. But one of the motivations of my original post was that I thought I had done what the faq says. I suggest it gets clarified; it says: "You can rename the user in the Windows User Manager GUI". I interpreted this to mean to go to Control Panel->User Accounts->Rename, and did it. I think many users will do the same. Also, as Coughlan pointed out, the real renaming may break many things and it may be good to alert users to that.
Opening up /etc/passwd in a text editor and doing a search and replace for "Nick Coghlan" -> "NickCoghlan" worked fine for me. It makes Cygwin happy, and Windows gets to continue on in blithe ignorance of what is going on.
Now I just need someone to give CGF a hyperthreaded system so he can work out what the heck is going on with hyperthreading, and all will be wonderful ;)
Cheers, Nick.
